Palio periodiko or old magazine...

[bahadir]

This is the site where the remains of one of the Seven Wonders of The Ancient World, Temple of Artemis, lies in Ephesus today.

I intended to give a faded and grainy look typical to images from some old magazine whose nostalgia odoured, dizzy making! pages captures my attention for quite a while...

Btw, I am happy to celebrate the birthday ofour fellow member Hercules,who is known tobe akeenadmirer ofsuchplaces: )

Great tohear it fromAννα Βίσση, though I don't like much of pop music, even in my own language!!

[hercules]

Yes Αννα Βισση, she's the Modonna of Greece, i accually went to one of her concerts in Athens and got a hug from her, she's really short but looks really good for 48yrs.

Come on Hercules!Aννα Βίσσηcertainly deserves much more than being compared with Madonna!I would even pay homage to her temple if she had one:G...Ah, if only she wouldn't sing in English!

Bahadir - I love this picture, I think the faded look is a great idea as it encapusaltes both the its present and ancient beauty. The colors give it a sense of melancholy - and what I mean by that is that while there is beauty there is also afeeling of loss. And I think this is exactly the effect you want to have when taking pictures of ruins- while the ruins themselves in their current state are very beautiful, they also represent not only the loss of the buildings, palaces, and dwellings, but the loss of a civilization. I think in general, this approach should be used more often when taking pictures of ancient ruins, because it , just by its very color, defines for the viewer what the Temple of Artemis was in a way that a normal picture without such coloringwouldbe unableconvey. And that makes the image so much more powerful and meaningful.Great Job.
